Heavenly: https://youtube/watch?v=UnilUPXmipM Gabriel Fauré composed his Requiem in D minor, Op. 48, between 1887 and 1890. The choral-orchestral setting of the Roman Catholic Mass for the Dead is the best known of his large works. It is written for orchestra, organ, mixed chorus and two soloists, soprano and baritone, and performed in Latin. It consists of seven movements; most famous is the central soprano aria Pie Jesu. Fauré himself said of the work, It is thus that I see death: as a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above, rather than as a painful experience.
